David Cameron on Syria - Syrian Crisis

BBC News: Reports " David Cameron says air strikes against Islamic State militants in Syria would be in the UK's "national interest". "

Lets Get Real:

The PM should push the message in TV interviews and in the press, get the right wing press to come out in favour, make it a case of either you appease the terrorists or you fight them. Use Churchill as a allegory, he fought Nazi Germany while on the backbenches while others supported Chamberlain and his policy to appease Hitler, putting your head in the sand in no policy, it only makes you look weak.   Thus time for the UK to join its allies, the US and France in bombing Daesh in Syria.

Russia and Turkey - Turkish Crisis

Telegraph - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.50pm post the following, " Russia: there will be consequences, but not military action..Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov:

The president has not spoken about any kind of military consequences. From that it should be inferred the president ruled out such statements. Nonetheless, of course, consequences are inevitable after such unfriendly actions by the Turkish side." "

Lets Get Real:

Thus if the characters do as they are expected we will have a frosty relationship between Russia and Turkey, the Russians will not push their luck with the Turks again, the NATO alliance will be supportive without actually doing anything, and the West can get back to fighting the real enemy, that being Daesh.  Lets hope the characters in this mini sage play their lines and stick to the script and do not freelance.   That could cause problems for everyone. 

Obama on downed Russian Plane - Turkish Crisis

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.34pm the following post, " On the downing of the Russian plane, Obama says it has the right to defend its territory and its airspace, and stresses the importance of Turkey and Russia working to de-escalate the situation. He says if Russia concentrates on Isis there would be fewer chances of mistakes. “The problem has been Russia’s focus on propping up Assad rather than concentrating on Isil.” "

Lets Get Real:

The problem that President Obama has is that he is getting flak from Republicans and Democrats for not hitting Daesh hard enough, now he has Turkey a NATO member taking  down Russian fighter, the Oval has to be supportive of Turkey but also keep the tensions down and have the Russians talk to the Turks, and get some areas of control were they will not get messed up with each other.    Any weakness by President on this issue will open him to attack from the Republicans that he is not defending an ally.   The twos sides, Russia and Turkey should have some harsh rhetoric, get it out of their system and then let the issue die. If any takes other military then we have a new ball game, lets hope we never reach that point. 

The Russian - Turkey Crisis - Turkey

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.53pm post the following, " The downing of the Russian airliner by IS, and Moscow's onslaught against IS targets appeared to suggest that Russia, the West and the moderate Arab states were coming into alignment.  But as the Russian air attacks against Turkmen positions show, Moscow is still intent on bolstering the Assad regime against some of its other opponents, whatever may be happening on the counter-IS front. .."

Lets Get Real:

As suggested by this blog and others a Russian airplane pushed its luck with Turkey, of course it is not possible to say if the Russian pilot acted under orders or was a hot shot who thought he could tweak the Turkish nose.   As expected the Russians are all fury, so far they have lost a fighter plane and a helicopter that was sent to rescue the downed crew, so far from reports it seems that the crew were shot down as they came in to land on the Syrian side of the border.  There are no reports of any deaths from the helicopter.   The problem for the West and Russia is Syria, the Russians see Daesh as a threat but Moscow wants to keep Assad in power at all costs, thus they are attacking Assad enemies,  while the West wants the back of Assad and for the Russians to take the fight to Daesh.   After the bombing of the Russian plane and the Paris terrorist attacks the West wants to take action, but the problems IN Syria are difficult to solve.  Thus how will the present crisis end, well Putin has been highly critical of Turkey, but he is no fool, thus no action, the Turks have called in NATO.   The NATO alliance should support Turkey, minus doinging anything.   That is how is should end, egos hurt and with low cost of lives, lets see if the West, Turkey and Russia can act like grown ups. 

Cameron and Syria - Syrian Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " Britain to start bombing ISIS in Syria next week: Cameron gives MPs the weekend to mull case for bombing before crunch vote  "

Lets Get Real:

The Conservative Government should be bombing Syria right now, the House of Commons can wait, they have been slow and have shown a Iraqi War complex, last time they allowed Assad to get away with the use of WMD on his own people, this time the threat is Daesh. One can only hope THIS TIME that the Commons saws some backbone and supports the government.  It can be expected that Labour MPs will go against their leader as Jeremy Corbyn has been a disaster when it comes to foreign policy, the UK voter would be under severe threat if Corbyn ever came close to power.    THUS MPs STAND AND SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT. 

Cameron and Defence - Defence Spending

BBC News: Reports " Up to 10,000 troops could be deployed on UK streets in the event of a Paris-style attack, David Cameron has said, as he announced plans for an extra £12bn for military equipment. "

Lets Get Real

It is the first job of government is to protect the people. its the first business for any Conservative Government, the next issue is law and order, there are suggestions that the Police will face cuts, a true blue Conservative Government should always support the police, you need them for domestic problems, such as strikes.   The Cameron Government should go after those on welfare, it is still far to easy to game the system, on the other hand the Government should be seen to look after those with a real disability or mental health issues, on this the government has to been to hard, we should have a two child policy per family, if they have more they should NOT GET ANY more money, its harsh but it will send a message.  Times are hard. 

Is Brussels the next target ? - Paris Terrorist Attack

Telegraph - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.52pm post the following, " Brussels, an eerily silent city...Amid growing fears that Brussels is a prime target for a repeat of the Paris attacks, it has fallen eerily still,.."

Lets Get Real:

The problem the Police and other security forces face is that you can not keep people on a constant state of alert, so far nothing has happened in Brussels, thus the threat level might be taken down, that is when the problem starts, do you jump every time new information comes along, or do you wait, if you wait and something happens the people, voter will not be happy, on the other hand if you have a constant alert the people will just see it as part of normal life, thus it becomes normal.   Lets hope the Police authorities in Brussels are on their tones, but know when to rise the alarm and when to let it down again, tough choice.
